Our side of the border, in Michigan there are two Grocery stores, not cheap by our standards but still cheaper than in Canada and some items they cn't get up there or this was the case last time.
The parking lot at one was half or more Canadian plates. They were buying their groceries, for what must be a month from what we saw of some.
So why would they bother with anything still in packages that we would have in our refrigerator/freezers and pantries?
I do now, remember one time taking chicken not frozen from our Fifth Wheel.
We spent better part of a day trying to buy chicken and other meats and some staples in Canada. No Grocery stores and meat had to be bought from a Butcher.
Well let me back up we did find one small grocer/ butcher or vice versa. 7.50 cents for a scrawny whole chicken that still needed to be cut up and cleaned some more. the same chicken here would have been a dollar a half to two dollars.
We will be going back in our Mh, and in order to have a well stocked larder, I guess we will have to get a list of what is allowed.
Wife loves to shop. But I don't want to go grocery shopping a hundred miles from camp because we had to leave some of what we brought at the border.
